"Trying to reduce preparation time I used ready made pastry tart shells but had bought sweet ones by mistake! I added a layer of onion marmalade at the bottom of the shells & all at the family Xmas party thougth they were marvellous. Noone noticed the wrong pastry - infcat tought it added to the mix of flavours when they were told of my error."

"I omitted onions (to avoid a soggy bottom) to the pudding. For a variation on another traditional British dish, I use this batter for a Yorkshire Pudding, pouring it the batter around the partially cooked beef (in the same roasting pan) about an hour before the beef is done. I also vary the batter by substituting pepper for mustard & rosemary for thyme to go with a leg of lamb, or sage & thyme to go with roast chicken or pork. The meat juices give delicious variations to the taste of the Yorkshire."

"Super easy & super tasty. I have a very prolific lime tree so I use limes instead of lemons & the result is a glorious, super tangy dessert. (You may need to adjust the lime amounts to taste depending on the type of limes used.) I also use the automatic "dessert" setting on my microwave when I'm in a hurry. The top isn't quite so light - but it's still a great hasty tasty pudding."

"Haven't tied this exact recipe, but adapted it as follows. Whizz a punnet of blueberries in the mixer (can add sugar or honey to taste if desired), mix with 1/3 cup of coconut milk powder, 1/4 cup of tablespoons of dessicated coconut, & juice & grated zest of 2 limes as in the original recipe. Stir all this into a litre of slightly softened, good quality vanilla icecream & refreeze for a very creamy, tangy icecream. Great served topped with a syrup made by heating 1/2 cup castor sugar, grated zest of 1 lime & 110 ml lime juice with 1 tsp arrowroot til slightly thickened, then cooled to serve."
